Description
A major collection of essays and speeches from pioneering freedom fighter Angela Y. Davis, this first of two important new volumes brings together an essential collection of Davis's essays and speeches over the years. It shows how her thinking has sharpened and evolved, even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation.
In pieces that address the history of abolitionist practice and thought in the United States and globally, the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and stories and lessons of organising inside and beyond the prison walls, Davis is always curious, always incisive, and always learning.
Abolition will appeal to fans of Davis, to students and scholars reflecting on her life and work, and to readers new to feminism, abolition, and struggles for liberation.
